Faiz pecah rekod 11 tahun angkat berat

KUALA LUMPUR - Atlet angkat berat negara, Mohd. Faiz Musa berjaya memadamkan rekod kebangsaan acara clean and jerk bagi kategori 94 kilogram dengan angkatan 191 kilogram, mengatasi rekod lama milik Edmund Yeo iaitu 190 kilogram.

Kejayaan itu dicatatkan pada kejohanan kelayakan ke Sukan SEA anjuran Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) dan Persatuan Angkat Berat Malaysia di sini, semalam.
Pencapaian itu membolehkan Mohd. Faiz, pemenang pingat perak Sukan SEA di Laos dua tahun lalu, menempah tiket ke Sukan SEA di Indonesia, November ini.

Mohd. Faiz berpuas hati kerana kerana hasrat untuk memadamkan rekod kebangsaan tercapai dan lebih menggembirakan pencapaian itu turut melayakkan dirinya mewakili negara ke Sukan SEA.

"Akhirnya rekod 11 tahun kategori ini berjaya di atasi. Sasaran saya kini ialah untuk memadamkan rekod bagi acara snatch pula.
"Pada kejohanan kali ini, saya hanya mampu membuat angkatan 145 kilogram bagi kategori snatch, dan untuk memadamkan rekod saya perlu membuat angkatan 152 kilogram," ujarnya.

Ditanya harapannya pada Sukan SEA nanti, Mohd. Faiz berkata, beliau tidak mahu meletakkan sasaran yang tinggi kerana sedar dengan saingan yang akan diberikan oleh atlet angkat berat Thailand.

"Saya hanya meletakkan sasaran untuk mengekalkan pingat perak yang dimenangi dua tahun lalu, tetapi tetap berusaha sebaik mungkin untuk menukar warna kilauan pingat.

"Saya mengucapkan terima kasih kepada majikan saya iaitu pihak pengurusan Universiti Malaysia Perlis yang memberikan sokongan dan pelepasan untuk saya menjalani latihan," katanya.

Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’

Saya setuju. We are working on more coaches! “ @ManOlimpik : Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’ http://t.co/7D7wmHWaNy ” — Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) June 10, 2014 The benchmark. Can our junior athletes train as hard as Malaysia's world No.1 badminton player, Lee Chong Wei? “IT IS okay lah. The training is not too bad lah. I will try lah … Wah, so hard lah today.” These are some of the common statements I hear from our juniors nowadays. It is not only in badminton. It is the easy-going, laid-back attitude and lack of competitiveness at grassroots level that we have problems producing quality players. I have travelled quite a bit. After ending my decade-long career with the national team, I went to play in the league in Europe. It’s different there. The European athletes know what they want. And they do it with real focus. Even the young ones possess admirable self-control and show a high level of commitment. During my time in the ...

Organising Major Sports Events Can Inspire Sports Culture Among The People - Khairy

PUTRAJAYA, June 5 (Bernama) -- Organising major sports events can help inspire sports culture among the people and ensure a healthy lifestyle said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin. Khairy said the Tour of Malaysia cycling race organised since 1963, for example, can encourage more people to take the sport in a more competitive way or just for recreation purposes. "A study carried out by a world renown medical journal, The Lancet, revealed that 61 percent of adults in Malaysia do not engage themselves in active sports. "A study by the Health Ministry revealed that only 25 percent of Malaysians exercise," he said in his speech when launching the 2013 Tour of Malaysia (Jelajah Malaysia) at the Youth and Sports Ministry, here, Wednesday. "Cycling, though not as popular here as in countries like Denmark, the activity is becoming popular among the people as can be seen through an increase in sale of bicycles for recreation," he sa...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
